Description of Burton Idiom 2.5L Continuum Jacket - Men's:
Welded seams and 10K-rated waterproof fabric keep the Burton Men's iDiom 2.5L Continuum Jacket dry and lightweight. As part of Burton's limited-edition iDiom line (previously available only in Japan), this jacket is anything but ordinary. Pull on the iDiom 2.5L Continuum Jacket, grab your board, and hit the slopes. Welded seams cut down on weight and provide a watertight, stretchy seam, so you can rip throughout winter storms. The iDiom Continuum Jacket's Underarm zips help you dump heat in the park, and the hood comes in handy when snow starts to fall. Layer a fleece or a super-warm hoody under this snowboard shell on freezing days. *Available for US shipment only. - Fall 2007.
Bottom Line: There are tons of jackets. But there aren't tons of iDioms.
I have lots of jackets and am tired of getting on the mountain on warmer or wet days with a heavy jacket, when all I need is a shell. This jacket is perfect, it is super lightweight and super waterproof. I wear it on powder days sometimes with a fleece underneath. Style is super clean too. No regrets.
I have this shell in I-Dot red and absolutely love the style. The jacket itself is a pure shell. There's no insulation, so be prepared to layer up like crazy. This jacket does exactly what its advertised to do; which is to serve as a shell. It has an array of technical features that stops water from permeating through. I have to say that the jacket is a bit pricey, but it has a stylish flair that helps to justify the cost. The best thing about this shell is that its insanely light and thin; you wouldn't even know that you had it on. I would recommend it for the Idiom enthusiast.
